Well said.  This is definitely true, for example, if you look at many of
Spoon's cars, they make identical peak horsepower to their stock counter
parts... but they have much more area under the torque/horsepower
curve...

        -Kit, whose little VTEC engine makes 85% of peak torque from
2500-8500rpm...
